From the Pal-Item, via the Muncie Press, via Variety. Armed and Famous Canceled.’. Mind boggling. I realize it’s all about ratings, but you’re upset that you were 4th. Out of how many different programming options?

True, 4th is almost last when you consider the execs only caring about the ‘big 5′ or really, ‘the big 3′ (CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX and the CW if they’re feeling generous). You know. If they embraced IP-TV options, including leaving the comercials in, people could watch all the shows they liked. Get a clue TV execs, try a new medium of distribution in addition to what you’re all ready doing. Log the downloads, and get a true picture of how many people are watching your programming.

Here is episode 4 in all it’s epic glory. On tonight’s show:

• Appologies for the goof with last week’s show. It is now fixed.
• Treva got empowered this week. She also moved a lady out of a nursing home.
